Testimonial: fume extraction for a 3D printer that runs 24/7

Axonics Modulation Technologies is a California company that develops implantable devices to treat urinary and fecal dysfunction. They recently emailed us about an unpleasant 3D printer fume problem that was solved with the help of a Sentry Air representative and the modular design principles basic to the Model 300 fume extractor. The Odor Problem We… Learn More

Testimonial: 3D printing of model hearts by Phoenix Children’s Hospital workflow made safer with ductless technology

Cardiac surgeons require a great deal of imagery before they operate on a child’s heart. They need to be able to visualize the arrangement of the heart’s components and defects they want to correct before they embark on surgery. For decades, visualization imagery was provided by MRIs and CT scans. Now those imaging technologies are… Learn More

Maintenance welding is an oil and gas industry application

Size matters. To support off-shore operations, for example, helicopters must be big enough to manage adverse weather and able to carry as many as two dozen crew members, plus their equipment, to rigs moored in deep water. However, the opposite is true for fume extractors used for maintenance welding on the rigs. These air filtration… Learn More

New flooring? Concerned about formaldehyde fumes in your home?

If you were exposed to formaldehyde fumes in your workplace, your employer would be required to explain the risks to you and provide appropriate safety equipment. Why? What is Formaldehyde? Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC). VOCs are chemicals that, due to their inherent qualities, vaporize readily at normal room temperatures. Formaldehyde, an industrial… Learn More

Controlling ambient dust during soil sample testing

  Soil is the bedrock on which we build the world around us. Before highways, buildings or roadways are constructed, the soil must be tested to measure strength, stability, and possible contaminants. Civil engineers, geo-technical engineers, environmentalists and the like rely on these tests to make decisions and plans about if and how to build… Learn More

Respiratory protection from Schaudinn Fixative vapor

Schaudinn’s Fixative is a mercuric chloride-based fluid that is used to preserve the integrity of sample specimens in preparation for analysis. Once specimen fixation occurs, a stain is usually applied to the samples to help in the identification of specific microscopic organisms. While not a complete list, the fields of Parasitology, Cytology and Fecal Sampling… Learn More

A clean air gem for Jewel Day 2015: Manon Doyle

Metalsmith and jewelry maker Manon Doyle regularly reinvents her artistic self. Her first love was painting. Then she worked in glass mosaics for a while, sometimes in three dimensions, like a sculptor. When she was ready to move on from mosaics, she chose enamel work. To learn enameling basics, she attended workshops at Haystack Mountain… Learn More

Commercializing biotechnology? Constraints, constraints, constraints!

Biotechnology entrepreneurs are a varied lot. They may be wringing out a drug discovery process, or developing a medical device that will end up inside the human body, or perhaps creating robotics systems that speed up laboratory tasks. They have the same concerns as entrepreneurs everywhere – keeping expenses in check, retaining key personnel, attracting… Learn More

Economical, adaptive enclosures for simulated pharmacy training

The pharmaceutical industry in America is complex in that multiple agencies, both private and governmental, develop standards and regulations on everything from beta testing new drugs to compounding and selling approved medications. These standards are not only meant to protect the health and safety of end users, but also those who manipulate, manufacture, and package… Learn More
